Justin Sheehy Speed Paint Exercise

The first one is me, the second one is collaboration with Josh Aoki. I laid down the color scheme and the rough blocking, he fleshed out the cave, opened up the far plane, and added in the orange and the ships.

Concept Art: Keeping the Conversation Going: Painting Raw and Burning Brain Cells

One way of doing Concept Art:
 

Please watch in class Thursday (or before if you like):  new Feng Zhu Tutorial. Aug. 22, 2012:

Episode 56 - MMORPG Landscapes 

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mmff8bBCYW4&feature=relmfu

Watch from beginning to end.  Listen to what he has to say.   

Watch what he does – including what he does but does not discuss.  

The artist captures ideas in fast production speed. 
His goal is 4-6 paintings in 2 hours:  
2000 pixels wide each, 4 together on one  canvas, without layers.
The first 20 minutes on each is most important: he figure out location, color, mood and light.
He spends an additional 1.5 hours on each (6 hours total)  to add texture and clean up details.

Previously in T class:  Episode 44: Tannhauser Gate concept art tutorial emphasizing creating in a gestural way without preconceived ideas:

Another good tutorial at this site is Episode 40:  Fantasy Landscape: you can scrub through to end and see comparison of 2 images:  initial process, and the the one with final texture and detail added. Lots of other tutorials here and on YouTube.

Portrait 2 - "final"

While this is the "final" version I printed for class, it's really still a work in progress.

Self portrait final

So far...

I realize this isn't complete...I can't believe how long it is taking me. I'm going to print what I have so far & continue working.

Self Portrait 2 Finished

I still think that maybe 700 px is too small to see the detail, but we'll see what it looks like printed off on Tuesday.  I'm actually really, really proud of this!

Self Portrait 2 WIP

almost done!!

Need help deciding...

Hi everyone,

Could I get your feedback on which "portrait 1" to continue?  Neither is finished, neither really looks like me, but I'm okay with that as long as it looks like a face at this point.  The second is more stylized, but I'm leaning more towards it at the moment (possibly because I got really frustrated with the first one).  Anyway I have to focus on one and I'd appreciate any thoughts - thanks.
